Part 68: History
Before the establishment of the FCC Part 68 rules & regulations, telephone equipment was manufactured almost exclusively by Western Electric whereby:Inhibiting the proliferation of technical
knowledge of telephone equipment and networks outside the Bell System
Creating a monopoly in the development and manufacturing of telephone equipment
Promoting a closed-system architectural & infrastructure

Part 68: Purpose
The purpose of the Part 68 rules and regulations is to provide for uniform standards for the protection of the telephone network from harms caused by the connection of telephone equipment and associated wiring
Part 68 also provides for compatibility of hearing aids and telephones so as to ensure that persons with hearing aids have reasonable access to the telephone network

Part 68: Influence
Since Part 68 was established, the marketplaces for telephone equipment and local exchange service have changed dramatically whereby:Vibrant competition has emerged Basic voice telephones and new types of terminal
equipment, including advanced telephones, computer modems, and equipment for individuals with disabilities, have become widely and competitively available
Private standards-setting bodies and testing laboratories for telecommunications equipment have become well established

Part 68: Biennial Review
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 directed the FCC to review its rules every even-numbered year and repeal or modify those found to be no longer in the public interest
Because of the rapid pace of change in both network and telephone equipment technologies, the FCC found it increasingly difficult for the regulatory process to keep pace thus creating a public disservice
![Page 6: The Privatization of the Federal Communications Commission’s Part 68 By: Ed Hall Vice President, Technology Development Alliance for Telecommunications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dd05503460f94ac60ec/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Part 68: Privatization
Pursuant to the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Report and Order CC Docket No. 99-216, FCC 00-400, the FCC minimized the government’s role in Part 68 by privatizing significant portions of its rules governing the connection of customer premises equipment (telephone equipment) to the public switched telephone network and privatized the standards development and terminal equipment approval processes
![Page 7: The Privatization of the Federal Communications Commission’s Part 68 By: Ed Hall Vice President, Technology Development Alliance for Telecommunications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dd05503460f94ac60ec/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Part 68: Privatization
To ensure continued uniformity and a level playing field that will assure robust competition, the FCC mandated the establishment of the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA) to assume functions privatized
ACTA was formed through the co-sponsorship and support of the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)

Council’s responsibilities (cont.)Respond to inquiries from the public regarding its
technical criteriaManage such other tasks as necessary and within
the Council’s scope that were formerly part of the FCC’s Part 68 functions
Ensure that the management, activities, and decisions of the Council are independent from all external influences

Administrative Council: Database
The continuation of a uniform, nationwide database is essential to protecting the public interest
Maintaining a centralized, accurate database that is readily available and accessible to the public, including individuals with disabilities will:Permit interested parties such as the FCC, U.S.
Customs, and providers of telecommunications services to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment
![Page 15: The Privatization of the Federal Communications Commission’s Part 68 By: Ed Hall Vice President, Technology Development Alliance for Telecommunications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dd05503460f94ac60ec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
November 7, 2001November 7, 2001 1515
Administrative Council: Database
Database advantages (cont):Ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially
adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause
Provide the public with the means to identify the party ultimately responsible for the product
